Madame Tussauds Wax Museum

Description

Madame Tussauds - So who do you want to meet?In a world obsessed with celebrity and natural curiosity, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is more popular today than ever before. Originating in Paris in 1770 – when news was mostly spread by word-of-mouth – Madame Tussaud developed a unique way of creating infamous wax figures of their real-life identities with precision care and likeness. She crafted her works in an inimitable visual manner that left no room for doubt as to each character's notoriety. A truly unique opportunity for the everyday public to get up close to their more famous and life-size counterparts, remains a fascinating prospect.

Madame Tussauds opened in Sydney in April 2012, and has proved as popular here as in its many other branches in cities around the world. Beautifully laid out for optimum manoeuvrability, your journey begins on the red carpet with camera bulbs flashing as you strike a pose, on your way into the history of the discovery of Australia. Meet Captain Cook and Sir Joseph Banks, Ned Kelly, and Slim Dusty. Australian music, television, and sporting icons are here in abundance, from Harold in Ramsay Street to Kylie Minogue, Elle 'The Body' McPherson, Dame Edna, and Miranda Kerr, to Donald Bradman, Greg Norman, Jimmy Barnes, and Michael Hutchence. Many of the interactive displays allow you to sing with your icons, or play a game with your favourite sporting stars. It's a glittering fantasy world that is yours for the day and fun for the whole family.

Meet American President, Barrack Obama, in the Oval Office and stand proudly alongside personal heroes such as Gandhi, Queen Elizabeth, or Saint Mary MacKillop. Continue on the red carpet to the A-List party of international mega-stars, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Justin Bieber, Johnny Depp, Nicole Kidman, Leonardo DiCaprio and many many more!

Behind the ScenesEach wax figure costs over $200,000 to produce and in excess of 800 hours of painstaking work by an elite group of highly-trained wax sculptors, who are able to replicate every single detail with precision accuracy. A number of displays show the process involved and you have the opportunity to have your own hand cast in wax, to forever remind you of the fabulous day you spent at Madame Tussauds Sydney.
